Can the oil pump handle this oil? I'm thinking of going with 0W40, but thought I'd check in with you guys first for your results.
I am totally happy with the 0W40, fits like a glove imo. Heats up fast but runs relatively under control/cooler.

Brazilian Forum member Plautus has been using S65 oil since long time and mostly during heavy track sessions so you might like to send him a PM to learn more about his personal experience.
